The St. Joseph American
Legion Post 464, St. Leon,
hosted the Voiture 612 of the
40et8--2019 Nurses Scholarship
Banquet.
The Best Little Oktoberfest
is set for Oct. 4-5 at the
St. Joseph American Legion
Post 464. Oktoberfest is an
atmosphere of celebration
in honor of the harvest. The
Oktoberfest tradition dates
back over two hundred years
in Germany when an Emperor
had a wedding for his daughter
in October. Most of the
people around St. Leon are of
German descent.
One of the most fun things
we have is the pie auction. We
O
ur
usually have high drama as
the bids go higher and higher
for those pies. Several homemade
confections include
peach, custard, cherry, blackberry,
apple, and other popular
pies. (See ad on page 8B.)
Proceeds support American
Legion programs.

As the Beacon celebrates
its 25 years of keeping the
community informed, I
would like to congratulate
the past and present
editorial staff for their
successes. I am proud to
be a part of their efforts.
Before my involvement,
Roselyn McKittrick did a
fantastic job of supplying
the information for the
Milan area. Roselyn was a
great mentor and friend. I
have also appreciated the
suggestions and comments
from friends and neighbors
over the years. Keep the
suggestions coming!
Milan Community Schools
recently held the annual
Character Counts event. The
school strives to involve the
whole community as they
stress the importance of
having good character. The
basis is to follow the seven
habits taught by the “Leader
in Me” curriculum. Each day
they focus on a particular
character/leadership
skill. While the program
is directed primarily to
students, these character
traits should be practiced by
Participants in the Character
Counts. Front row: Will
Wheeler, Ali Cutter, McKenleigh
Baylor, Peyton Johnson.
Second row: Josh Fryman,
Kiera Meyers, Ethan
Clark, Bryce Blackburn.
Third row: Braesyn Livingston,
Michael Moffitt, Ava
Honnert, Mallory Eaglin Top
row: Aiden Potts, Trenton
Langferman, Allison Doyle
all. The program stresses the
following characteristics:
trustworthiness, respect,
responsibility, fairness,
caring, and citizenship. We
all know that making each
of these character traits a
part of our daily lives will
undoubtedly make the world
a safer and better place
to live. We applaud the
administrators and staff of
Milan Community Schools
for stressing values we all
should strive toward. A
special thank you to school
counselors Gayle Healy,
Tina Mutz, and Brenda
Schwering, and social
worker Stephanie Schwing-
Stamper for organizing and
implementing this program.
